0:10:02 ACTING TEACHER (CONT’D) any notion of romance. Acting is a craft, a serious profession. And
to learn any craft, you must, you must, apply yourself. Take time,
study, practice, patience. Most of all it will require hard work and
sweat. If it’s glory you’re after, you won’t find it learning to act. You
may not even find it in acting. But, if it’s a sense of fulfillment you
seek, a sense of personal gratification, beyond what we find in every
day life, there’s no other profession in the world that can offer you
more. That’s how I feel. If you are dedicated to your craft, you will
work until you’re ready to drop, and then go on and work some
more. By the time you’re ready to call yourself an actor, you’ll be so
dead tired you probably won’t even care about the applause. But
you’ll feel good. The way you feel after a very long run, when you
ache all over and, and you, you’re aware of every inflated muscle in
your body. It’ll hurt, but it’ll hurt good. We are going to work here.
That’s what we’re here for. Now, I’m not qualified to teach you, but
I can pass on to you what I’ve learned. I’ll try to explain to you the
way I see it. Maybe it’ll make sense, maybe it won’t. That’s partly up
to me, and partly up to you. If we’re lucky, we might accomplish
something.
0:11:52 ACTING TEACHER (CONT.) Let’s begin.
0:12:08 JAMES You know, you and I would make a good team.
0:12:13 ROOMMATE Yeah? How’s that?
0:12:16 JAMES I think we sort of complement each other. I mean, there’s a lot of
stuff that you know that I should know and I think there’s a lot I
could help you with, I guess. Maybe if we stuck together, combined
forces, it might be easier going. Now I gotta find a place to live. And
I was thinking, maybe we could get a place together. I mean, you’re
always complaining about your plumbing and… well, everything else
in your apartment.
0:12:52 JAMES (CONT.) You’re not saying anything.
0:12:53 ROOMMATE I was thinking. I was thinking you’re right. I hear there’s a lot of
cheap buildings in Santa Monica along the bus route.
0:13:10 JAMES Well then that’s settled.
